Hathor was a popular Egyptian goddess, often depicted as a woman with the head of a cow. In the above figure, she wears a headdress with cow horns, sun-disk (uraeus, or sacred serpent, on the sun disk), and tall feathers. As a sky deity with many forms, she was the daughter of the Sun god Ra and the wife of Horus. "Although in time she came to be considered the ultimate personification of kindness and love, she was initially literally a blood-thirsty deity unleashed on mankind to punish humans for their sins.
